Back in the peloton, it is the team of the race leader, UAE Team Emirates-XRG who set the pace. Del Toro will be keen to get a stage win after two second places.

The break have almost completed the main part of the descent off the Sassotetto. They have three short climbs to do before finally descending to the valley and head towards the finishing circuit.
2026-03-14T11:48:53.114Z
Two hours of racing done. The break have an advantage of four minutes and 20 seconds on the peloton.
2026-03-14T11:44:37.968Z
Even if Kielich won every single KOM today including the one to the finish, he would still not beat Sevilla’s 33 points. The Spaniard will be pleased to know his jersey is safe for another day.

Van der Poel and Bettiol were, indeed, caught.

Just 20km to the intermediate sprint in Sarnano at the base of the Sassotetto climb.
2026-03-14T10:22:47.118Z
Van der Poel and Bettiol may still be ahead of the bunch. Awaiting confirmation on that one.

Van der Poel sat up on the final climb yesterday as he may have thought he didn’t have the legs to compete with the likes of Del Toro. It also meant he lost enough time to allow him to go into breaks as he is now almost eight minutes down in the GC.
2026-03-14T10:09:16.062Z
Peloton all back together with two riders out front. The bunch is being pulled along by Visma-Lease a Bike.

Riders who are definitely in the front split are race leader Del Toro as well as Van der Poel and Van Aert. No suggestion that other big GC names are in the group.
2026-03-14T10:06:40.348Z
Once again, there are 30 points max up for grabs in the KOM classification. Diego Pablo Sevilla (Polti-Visit Malta) seems pretty empty after multiple days in the break, he has 12 points over Joan Bou (Caja Rural-Seguros RGA) and 15 points over Remy Rochas (Groupama-FDJ United) going into today.

Van Aert is really pushing in these early kilometres as he tries to force the break of the day with pure power alone, seemingly.

Split in peloton
2026-03-14T09:58:54.836Z
The move by Van der Poel and Van Aert didn’t stick and the peloton is, currently, all together.

The start town of San Severino Marche is also the hometown of second overall, Pellizzari. He would’ve hoped to still be in the leader’s jersey going into today for his homecoming, but it wasn’t to be. He does still wear the white best young riders jersey on Del Toro’s behalf, though.
2026-03-14T09:14:47.746Z
If it wasn’t for his crash on stage two when he was following eventual stage winner, Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Premier Tech), on the gravel climb to San Gimignanon, Matteo Jorgenson (Visma-Lease a Bike) would’ve probably have been right in the fight with Del Toro and Pellizzari. He still could be as the rider from the USA shows good form way before main goals in the Ardennes…

It is all about today for Isaac Del Toro (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) and Giulio Pellizzari (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe) and the other GC contenders with a pretty flat day tomorrow in San Benedetto del Tronto…

The riders are due to start racing in around 45 minutes.

Today’s stage is yet another cracker in the offing. Several brutally steep climbs as well as the highest point of the race, the Sassotetto. This time, the famous climb will be climbed much earlier in the stage as is the norm with this usual summit finish ascent.
